CSU's football team will start and end its regular season on Fridays this fall.

A week after announcing that the season-opening game against the University of Colorado would be played on a Friday, Aug. 29, in Denver, it was announced Thursday by the Mountain West that the Rams will play Air Force at 1:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 28, in the regular-season finale for both schools. The Colorado State University-Air Force game will be televised nationally by CBS-Sports Network, on the day after Thanksgiving, as part of the conference's Friday night television package.

The package calls for one nationally televised Friday night game each week for 11 weeks on either CBS-SN or one of ESPN's networks -- ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU. CSU was scheduled for just one appearance, while San Diego State was scheduled for three Friday night appearances.

The Rams' season-opening game against CU in Denver was scheduled for a Friday night as part of the Pacific-12 Conference's television package and could be broadcast on any of Fox Sports' or ESPN's platforms, the two schools announced last week. The CSU-CU game will be played in the evening, but the kickoff time has not yet been announced. CSU's other 10 regular-season games, including all six home games at Hughes Stadium, are scheduled to be played on Saturdays.

The remainder of the MW's TV broadcasts through its deals with CBS-SN and ESPN have not yet been announced.
